INFOPRINT_PRINTWAY_MODE

Description:

Checks the type of Infoprint (IP) PrintWay™ mode that is being used. Generates an exception if it detects use of Infoprint Basic mode.

Reason for check:

Infoprint Basic mode was stabilized in z/OS® V1R5 and no further enhancements will be done. In future releases, IBM® will make enhancements only to IP PrintWay extended mode. IP PrintWay extended mode uses the SYSOUT Application Programming Interface (SAPI) to obtain output data sets from the JES spool.

IP PrintWay extended mode provides better performance, improved usability, and additional functions.

z/OS releases the check applies to:

z/OS V1R8 and later.

Parameters accepted:

User override of IBM values:

The following sample shows the defaults for customizable values for this check. Use this sample to make permanent check customizations in an HZSPRMxx parmlib member used at IBM Health Checker for z/OS startup. If you just want a one-time only update to the check defaults, omit the first line (ADDREPLACE POLICY) and use the UPDATE statement on a MODIFY hzsproc command. Note that using non-POLICY UPDATEs in HZSPRMxx can lead to unexpected results and is therefore not recommended. End of change
